document.write( "Sarah hikes at 4 kilometers per hour from one end of a trail that is 34 km long. Amanda begins 1 hr laater at the other end. Walks toward sarah at 6 k/m. How long will it take for them to pass each other\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let time Amanda takes to meet Sarah, be T\r\n" );
document.write( "Then, distance Amanada covers when she meets Sarah = 6T\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Since Sarah started out 1 hour before Amanda, when they both meet, Sarah would've been travelling for T + 1 hours\r\n" );
document.write( "So, distance Sarah covers when she meets Amanda = 4(T + 1)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "As both would've covered a TOTAL of 34 miles, when they meet, we get the following DISTANCE equation: 6T + 4(T + 1) = 34\r\n" );
document.write( "                                                                                                        6T + 4T + 4 = 34\r\n" );

document.write( "Time they took to meet, after Amanda starts hiking, or \"T+=+30%2F10\" = 3 hours
